I don't know if its because I drive one & have one but it seems that the vast majority of FL2s I see have a private registration, does that say something about us owners? I never had a private plate before , but the first thing I did when I bought the freelander was get one, I didn't pick it up from dealer until transfer had gone through & new post s were on , so I thought I'd start a poll to see if this theory is right.. |

It was a habit of Range Rover owners, especially with the Classic as its shape was generally the same for many years, disguises the year, whether it originated in Aberdeen to appear to be a rich oil worker is moot, there weren't many Classics there on normal plates unless it was the current year.

Thing is it can still be a private plate in the standard format if you picked the numbers letters yourself so not all private plates look like private plates but could be

my son bought a private plate for his 2013 registered car, it now on R** ALB which are his initials and soon to be age (by coincidence). He didn't want a meaningless plate or to make up something by illegally altering the letters and numbers.

I have always regarded it as a sign of insecurity ie I don't want anyone to know that I am driving an old car, so it gives the game away immediately that this is in fact true. True some plates are truly unique like I saw an Arab once driving HA55AN or plates like SU5IE or ANN1E or X5 or MI5 KGB etc which I guess are very expensive but the majority, in my view, send out the wrong message. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Mine sits on an early Jaguar in their museum, so no chance even if I won the Euro millions jackpot after a year of no wins my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I quite the like the idea of vanity plates in the same way as I like seeing blue LED windscreen washers, it gives a warning to keep away from them. |

Got one when a member of my family died a few years ago and I got a bit of money.
